That's because New York City limit laws http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/download...healthcode.pdf and New York State laws are different.

NYC Health Code

Obviously people need to be knowledgeable about their state laws, county/city ordinances.

I will also add this, while it is legal to purchase constrictors in NY STATE it is still unlawful to possess them if you live in NY CITY LIMIT and that is what is important.

NY tries to knock you for everything. Every county around needs you to have a permit to own a herp.
They dont enforce it and most shops wont tell you.
some places post a county notice about it but still its pretty silly.

The White Plains show and Long Island show are held outside of NYC limits, so are not subject to NYC regulations. A lot of boa and ball python vendors there operate out of the five boroughs though, so I dunno... You'll definitely never find retics and burms and that kind of thing though.

It's still NY,but is put of the 5 boroughs,but that doesn't mean it's not NY.. I see people walk around with them freely and often,so idk. I guess if your walking around the streets with a 10 foot python u can get your chops busted,lol..but as for knowing the laws in my state,please,I lived here my whole life and well NY is full of crap. I don't thnk my homes getting raided cause I have 2 ball pythons....

NY can take this ridiculous bogus law and shove it up there......... Please,what a bunch of crap.

I've seen this debated now several times. The DEP law that keeps getting brought up does in fact make it illegal to own BP's. However it is a DEP law and if you live in the city you realize that there is not one LEO that is going to show up and enforce it. They wouldn't know about it and honestly unless your housing thousands of animals and tick off your neighbors there is next to no chance your going to hear anything from DEP. Just a humble piece of advice from someone who knows NYC quite well.

Follow the laws....they are made up to protect and help you citizen!

They are for your safety and there are plenty of people here to ensure that its flashed in your face for not knowing some rich old white guy's idea of a perfect social world.

While your corrupt lawmakers do as they wish.....be sure to "pay" your taxes and don't purchase items with your money that some privilaged stranger says you can't.

There were once laws against woman and people of color or non english speaking.
Laws against native North Americans and what you may eat drink or smoke.

Go on how "the law is a law"
